Also, how are people sure this is being perpetuated by the Iranian government? I'm asking because I see no evidence in the pastebin dumps, yet many people here seem sure the Iranian government is behind this.
There was another indecent earlier this year for which Iran was assumed responsible. This turned out to be false (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9215245/Solo_Iranian_...)
My brother works in a company that produces spying software for government. Days ago, he told me he himself has written several programs to spy on yahoo, hotmail and gmail but he thought they couldn't deploy the gmail program because of https. I guess, he should think again.
I am scared. My only hope was SSL and I can't trust that anymore?
Who might/could do this except for the goverment?

I used mtr and the route to google is changing every several seconds, but I thinks it's normal.
All I know is that internet blocking happens in LCT [78.38.255.] or KAMYARAN [78.38.245.].
